Lookin good!

What difference did the header make? Any power or sound difference?

 

very nice bro!

 

Looks nice HOSH, you might have an issue with the reducer/connector that spirals around the t-bar to hook to the cat, I bent mine a little in a vise, flattened the inside radius a bit for clearance and added some springs because it rattled during cold start.

I am running a pacesetter long tube through an 18" glasspack, no cat and 2" pipe dumping out at the front leaf hanger. It sounds like an old tractor at idle, a Cessna(sp?) at cruise and a vintage rallycar WOT. super loud and raspy, also pops and cackles during deceleration. Love it

 

It's noticeably faster on acceleration. I am really waiting on the D.U.I ignition to come in, so I can really awaken all of the engine mods I have made i.e.
-Smog Delete
-Weber 38/38
-Offenhauser Intake
-Pacesetter header
-Full exhaust

Then I can do a custom timing curve and see what this truck is really made of.

Even with the 1-ton torsion bars it fit well. The header collector was more the hard part to fit. I think it was because my torsion bars are alot thicker than stock. I do really like the design of the downpipe how they wrapped it over the bars and not under.

 

Good to hear it actually made a difference!

Not to thread hijack but I'm gonna put mine on when I swap in my 22r, running a ported intake with a weber 32/36, fully ported head with bigger valves and rv3 cam with stiffer springs, and will also be doing a DUI distributor.. Not gonna have a built motor with a basic points system.. Let me know when you get your distributor in and how you hooked it up!

 

I can imagine mine has very little clearance to the t-bar. Is that one of those dual port Offy intakes?

 

I'll be sure to do a write up

Yeah, it is mainly to see the gains out of a progressive carb which I don't have, but it flows better than stock so I'm happy.

 

Got this goodie in the mail today.

Goin' on tomorrow night!

 

How long did it take for your distributor to arrive from when you ordered it?

 

How much was that? I am in the market for either a DUI (worked awesome on my 74 Jeep Commando) or an LC recurved Toyota dizzy

 

I got it in about a week and a half. Not bad for a made to order part.

Right around $450. Not bad for a custom curved dizzy, thick livewires, and an integrated ignition and coil.

I went with it because of ease of installation vs a MSD system. plug it in at 0* tdc. Plug in 12v lead wire and tach lead wire. Start, adjust timing and run it.


I am at 15* right now and it is running fantastic on 89 octane.

 

dude! looks awesome! ....... so... what did the butt dyno show as far as improvement in power/torque?

 

Lookin sharp. 15°btdc initial or total timing?

 

Hopefully broke 100hp. Feels like it.

I set it in at 8*btdc like stock with the ignition dizzy in the same spot where the stock one was for an easy fire up. Then adjusted with a timing light to around 15-20* in total timing.

Hope this answers it.

 

Some updated pics of the truck how it sits. Have a lot left to do before toyotafest. thinking about just running it how it is!









Who says lowered trucks aren't functional!

 

Such a sick truck! After seeing your DUI I had to buy mine, no more waiting!

Any other plans for upgrades?

 

Thanks man! I love it. The ignition system is awesome and it makes these motors purrr.

I still have some maintenance things to do. It pulls right needs and idler arm. My motor cries oil at night. Custom work.... I have an exhaust to do as well! Which will be awesome and something totally unique . After that I think I might finally address the rust or just run it.

 

the leaks are a very trivial issue with the motor... wouldnt take much more than a day to take care of. the engine bay would gain allot by getting buttoned up and detailed out to show off the new goodies...
